bbassieandClaude Fable 5.1 8bfc42c44c Lower the Lua UDP floor to Factorio 2.1.10
Danielv123 pointed out the recv_udp crash was fixed in 2.1.10, not
2.1.12: recv_udp used an input action for synchronisation which the
headless server could not send without a player index.  Verified on
downloaded headless builds, 2.1.9 crashes and 2.1.10 works.

bbassieandClaude Fable 5.1 1f37905be0 Require Factorio 2.1.12 for Lua UDP
Factorio 2.0.59 through 2.1.11 crash with "Trying to add invalid input
action to the closure" when helpers.recv_udp dispatches a received
packet, whether polled from on_tick or called from a command and
whether or not the server is paused.  Reproduced on headless 2.0.77 and
2.1.8, works from 2.1.12 on.  FactorioServer now refuses to start with
Lua UDP enabled on older versions, the docs say 2.1.12, and the
integration tests only enable it on 2.1.12 or later.

The to-game integration test polls recv_udp from on_tick like the
clusterio module does and sends commands to make the empty server tick.

bbassieandClaude Fable 5.1 7a64706c82 Send raw payloads over UDP and emit them as udp events
Review feedback from Cooldude2606: UDP is most useful for arbitrary
blobs, so send_udp now takes any string and the packet is just
"channel?payload".  Plugins get it as a udp-<channel> event with the
payload as a Buffer, or through handleUdp which logs handler errors
like handle does for ipc events.

The host socket is now opened when the RCON client is started and
closed where the RCON client is ended, matching how the RCON client is
handled, instead of being bound in start() and closed by _resetState.

The integration round trip moved to the FactorioServer tests, where it
sends a packet each way through a real server without the module.

bbassieandClaude Fable 5.1 788ae17657 Add UDP communication support for instances
Add opt-in UDP messaging between the host and the Factorio server using
the --enable-lua-udp option of Factorio 2.0.59+.  When
factorio.enable_lua_udp is set the instance binds a localhost UDP socket,
starts Factorio with --enable-lua-udp on factorio.lua_udp_port (random
if null, like the RCON port) and tells the clusterio module the host port
via clusterio_private.update_instance.

Data from Factorio is sent with clusterio_api.send_udp(channel, data) in
the same IPC format as send_json, so plugins receive it through the
existing ipc-<channel> events.  Packets not sent from the Lua UDP port
are ignored, as that is the only unauthenticated way into the IPC
handler.  Data to Factorio is sent with the new sendUdp method on
instances and instance plugins, and is dispatched in-game as
on_udp_packet_received events by polling helpers.recv_udp every tick
from the clusterio module.

Plugins requiring UDP declare the new LuaUdp feature flag, which like
SavePatching and ScriptCommands refuses to load the plugin on instances
without the option enabled.

Verified against a headless 2.1.17 server: send_udp and recv_udp are
silent no-ops when the option is off, so a stale port in a save that is
moved to an instance without UDP does no harm.  The integration test
matrix now starts the instance with UDP enabled on Factorio 2.0.59+ and
round trips a player event over it.

Closes #969

bbassieandClaude Opus 5.5 e455d17bb7 Write plugin versions while loading configs
The staging copy made by Config.set() went through the constructor, so
plugin migrations ran a second time on the live fields. A version-gated
migration was applied twice when setPluginVersions() changed the version.
Staging now copies the fields with update() instead.

A config saved without <plugin>.version got the running version as its
default, so setPluginVersions() saw no change and nothing saved the stamp.
The constructor now writes the registered plugin versions after the
migrations run and marks the config dirty when that changes a loaded value.
Controller.bootstrap() saves the instances that came out dirty, and
setPluginVersions() is gone.

Restructure the SyncHook and plugin config tests by method, and suggest the
controller config version for role migrations in the docs.

bbassieandClaude Opus 5.5 aec0fc7a1e Let plugins migrate the data core stores for them
Plugins had no way to update the config fields and permissions core stores
for them, so renaming inventory_sync needed migrations in core packages.

A plugin can now declare a migrationEntrypoint. It's loaded on the
controller and hosts before configs and roles are read, for every plugin in
the plugin list, and attaches handlers to sync hooks for the controller,
host and instance configs and roles. lib gets helpers to rename config
fields and permissions, and each config gets a hidden <plugin>.version field
set after load so migrations can tell which version saved the data.

Covers the plugin API changes between 2.0.0-alpha.27 and 2.0.0: ESM,
entrypoint functions and hooks, loadedPlugins, permissions on the
plugin declaration, the ctl renames, staticRoot and optional peer
dependencies.

Document that from 2.0 major versions contain breaking changes for end
users while minor versions may contain breaking changes for the plugin
API, and fix stale examples and names in writing-plugins.md and

Hornwitser 5df5af7ca8 Rename Ctl's usage of "control" to "ctl" (#1039)
Ctl ended up calling its main class for "Control" for historical
reasons, along with its config file and plugin entrypoint.

The plugin entrypoint was renamed to ctl in 808eda0513.  This
finishes that renaming by also renaming the main class, default config
file, config-control command, and main entrypoint.

The config-control command is renamed to config to be consistent with
the host and controller's config commands.

The term "control" is still kept in the config and message locations as
a common specifier for both ctl and web_ui.

7122cbccf8 Add typed hook system for plugins
Replace invokeHook and the per plugin on* methods with AsyncHook
collections on the controller, host, instance, clusterioctl and web
control objects. Plugin entrypoints export a default function that
receives a load context and attaches handlers to the hooks it needs.
Class exports still load through fromContext with a deprecation
warning. The create templates and docs use the entrypoint function.

This is clusterio/clusterio#921 recreated on top of master after the
ESM migration and the PluginDeclaration permissions change.

Closes #730

8c03ac15ab Define permissions on PluginDeclaration (#988)
Adds a permissions array to PluginDeclaration, a type-level Permissions
registry that plugins extend with module augmentation, and
registerPluginPermissions() called from all entrypoints. checkPermission
and the web UI hasPermission helpers now take PermissionName so typos are
compile errors. Core definitions move into a corePermissions array that
the interface derives its keys from.

Hornwitser 5dcaca4d0b Migrate to ECMAScript Modules
Migrate the usage of CommonJS specific code and imports to ESM.  Roughly
summarised this:
- Changes all require() calls to import statement or expressions.
- Changes usage of module.exports to export statements.
- Replaces require.resolve with import.meta.resolve.
- Replaces conditional imports with conditional subpath imports.
- Replaces module === require.main with import.meta.main.
- Adds the full filename with extention to all relative imports.
- Changes all usage of __dirname and __filename to their import.meta
  equivalents.
- Sets "type": "module" in package.json files.
- Removes usage of "use strict".
- Adds .ts an an alias of .js for the webpack build.

Due to differences in how require and import resolves files the plugin
entrypoints will have to include the filename and extension after this
migration in order to work.

Hornwitser b0f6c95fca Move export for plugin declaration (#555)
Change the expected exported name of plugin declarations to be "plugin"
at the main entrypoint instead of the default export.  This makes the
plugin's code organisation more flexible especially when using CommonJS
JavaScript modules as they can export additional symbols from the
plugin declaration file.

Hornwitser e74065a493 Remove config groups
Refactor away the config group concept and simplyfy the way config
fields are defined.  Fields are defined directly as properties of the
static field fieldDefinitions on the class itself with a separate
interface to declare the types of fields.

This makes it possible to easily make accessing the config fields type
checked in a way that lets plugins extend the interfaces with their own
config options by adding additional fields to the interface via
declation merging.

Move BaseWebPlugin to web_ui/src/BaseWebPlugin.ts

This solves the circular package dependency problem of the base plugins
needing types that are available only in the dependencies to lib.

Hornwitser bfe119eaa3 Flatten lib namespace
Move all functions and classes currently available through lib/name and
libName to be under a single flat namespace in lib.  This make
reorganising the lib namespace much simpler as the location of symbols
can move without breaking the consumers of lib.

The multi-entrypoint design was already problematic for the web plugin
system which couldn't effectively use it due to how webpack's shared
module system is awkward to set up with multiple entrypoints per package.

Hornwitser 8a0c1e8a4b Use single entrypoint for lib in web interface
In order to import a path inside packages/lib/ in the webpack shared
module environment it has to be declared as shared in both the web_ui
webpack config and the plugin's webpack config.  This is rather error
prone and easy to miss.  Move the burden of specifying which entrypoints
are valid in lib to lib itself by changing all imports in the web
interface code to import from @clusterio/lib instead sub paths.

For web code this means imports is done like this from now on:

import { libConfig, libLink } from "@clusterio/lib";

For info.js which has to be loadable by both Node.js and web code the
imports are done as follows:

const { libConfig, libLink } = require("@clusterio/lib");

While the Node.js only code can either continue to import sub paths
directly or use the info.js style.

Hornwitser 63f76ce87a Rename enabled to load_plugin
Rename the config and status indicating whether to load a plugin or not
from "Enabled" to "Load Plugin".  The latter better describes what it
does, and unlike the former doesn't imply plugins can be enabled or
disabled on the fly.
2021-03-07 14:53:45 +01:00
Hornwitser 2c74a67738 Add location access control to config class
Add a per field access parameter to the config class which specifies
which of master, slave and control can access the given field.  A
location is added to the config class to specify which party owns it and
fields which do not have an access parameter are not present in the
config and will throw if attempted to be read from or writen to.

The serialize, load, update, get, set and setProp are ammended with a
location parameter which specifiy where the data is from or destined to
and the access checks are performed to ensure remote access to the
config is still limited by the access parameter of field.

With this system in place the master config can be shared with control
and slave connections without compromising secrets that should stay
private.  This is primarily the master authentication secret, but other
plugins may define secrets it does not want to have shared with slave
and/or control connections.

Hornwitser 957983d8a5 Add logging system based on winston
Add winston based logger for master, slave, ctl, lib, and web_ui code.
Logging done from slaves and instances are sent to the master server and
tagged with the instance and/or slave it originated from.  This allows
for example error messages to propagate back to the source that iniated
the action.  The master server also stores the log to allow it to be
queried at a later point.  For slaves a copy of the slave's log is also
stored locally.
